My question is when are the temps suppose to start dropping when doing the basal temps if you are not pregnant?

My temp is still up and it's due tomorrow. They generally start dropping for me a few days before I start.

Yay I love these questions!!! 18 high temps is almost as good as a home pregnancy test. However your temp can stay up right until the day of your period. Usually it will go down 14-16 days after ovulation:) Depending on you luteal phase.
Good Luck & Blessings,

You mean post ovulation? After you ovulate, you start producing progesterone, which elevates your body temp. When you start creating estrogen (during the follicular phase- before ovulation) then your temp is generally lower. You will usually see a temp rise right after you ovulate, which is what divides the luteal and follicular phases. Also, you cannot tell if you're pregnant simply by your BBT. For more info., check out fertilityfriend.com. That site is GREAT and taught me a lot! You will learn everything you need to know there. Good luck! :o)

If you have been doing the temp recording you should know when yours drops.
